How does the amoeba get the oxygen it needs and get rid of carbon dioxide it produces?

Amoebas obtain oxygen and release carbon dioxide through diffusion. Oxygen from the surroundings enters the amoeba's cell membrane, while carbon dioxide diffuses out of the cell membrane into the environment. This process occurs due to concentration gradients.


How do humans obtain oxygen?

Which organism gets its carbon from carbon dioxide?

Green plants take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and using energy from the sun separate the carbon from the oxygen. They release the oxygen to the atmosphere, and use the carbon.


Many small aquatic organisms move oxygen and carbon dioxide through their skin by the process of?

diffusion. Oxygen diffuses from the water into their bodies, while carbon dioxide diffuses out from their bodies into the water. This helps them exchange gases with their environment to obtain oxygen for respiration and excrete carbon dioxide.
